Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.misc -> Which indexes are not used
Hello,
Our database (Oracle 7.3.3.6, VMS ALpha 7.1) is
reported to be running very slow. After looking
at Toad - monitor option, I discovered
that only 33 % of the queries are using indexes
and rest are non-indexed queries. I gather that this
is leading to large table scans thereby leading to
I/O bottleneck.
We have indexes for all the tables in place and
no one has dropped the indexes. So why the problem
is happening today?
My questions are:-
1. How to find out which query is not using indexes? 2. Why are they not using indexes? 3. Which indexes are not used?
About 75 users are logged into the database and I dont know how to identify which uses is creating the bottleneck.
Any hint/ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Please send a copy of your reply to

Thanks in advance.
